California for All Animals: All Call - Lessons from Growing Front Street’s Homeless Outreach & Assis

The All Call is a monthly, California community call for animal well-being professionals. The one-hour call is a dedicated space to share and learn from each other. Popular topics include initiatives that create a more inclusive culture for both staff and community, programs that keep pets with their people, industry trends, research studies, as well as the hard stuff, like what's not working or what is particularly difficult during times of scarcity. The call is a mix of presentations, storytelling, open discussion, and Q&A time. 

Join Program Coordinator Jenna Topper on September 2 at 12 p.m. PT for behind-the-scenes insights into the program as it heads into year four. You'll discover how the Homeless Outreach and Assistance Program (HOAP) team:

• Built and sustained partnerships with pet owners and community organizations to deepen impact.

• Balanced program growth and sustainability while handling a large volume of services.

• Overcame challenges to expand access to care delivered with respect and dignity.

Since the Homeless Outreach and Assistance Program (HOAP) launched in May 2022, Sacramento’s Front Street Animal Shelter has managed to not only sustain but also grow partnerships with pet owners and community organizations. In its first two years alone, the HOAP team supported 1,510 people experiencing homelessness, helped 2,713 animals, administered over 7,908 treatments and coordinated $380,000 in emergency veterinary services. Now they’re making care even more accessible with a mobile veterinary clinic.
